What I Learned from Reading Paul in Greek for Sixty Years!

In this illustrated reading of the Preface to my book Paul and Jesus: How the Apostle Transformed Christianity (Simon & Schuster 2012) I present a very personal overview of how I view and understand "The Thirteenth Apostle" since I first encountered him at age 17 in my Testament Greek course with the late Professor Abraham Malherbe. He was one of the towering scholars of his generation. I was "hooked" for life and have continued to think about Paul, his ideas, and his relationship to Jesus and his message, ever since.That book, and my earlier one, Paul's Ascent to Paradise, encapsulated my own approach and conclusions to this lifetime of study.
